Boardroom is a dating app designed for busy professionals where all users are verified through LinkedIn. We’ve designed the app to be intentional, limiting active chats to three at a time, and ensuring every swipe is intentional.
Hello Product Hunters 👋
I’m Wisani, and I’m super excited to announce Boardroom - a dating app for professionals who are looking to date professionals alike.
I know: "Not another dating app!" Hear us out ✍️ We created Boardroom because we saw that all the big dating apps had these two same problems:
1. Poor quality of profiles (and bots) because they're open to everyone
2. Ghosting & despondency because they're designed like casinos
✅ Addressing the quality problem
==========================
Being working professionals ourselves, we saw an opportunity to build a dating app that was limited to other working professionals with an already well-crafted online presence - we thought this was a good proxy to solve for the first problem.
👻 Addressing the ghosting problem
============================
Soon after testing the app, we fell into the same ghosting issues that other platforms faced - and we narrowed it down unintentional swiping and overmatching. The typical dating app lets you match with an unbounded number of people.
The problem users face is that they either have too many chats to manage, or they’re destined to match with other users who have too many chats to manage. Imagine a real life scenario where you’re trying speak to the president when 100 other people are trying to do the same thing - chances are, not everyone will get a chance! Our solution was to have a three chat limit. This guarantees that anytime two people are chatting, we’re simulating “6 people in a room”, where the likelihood of being present in the conversation is higher.

Thank a million for your support!
Awesome product!!! I'm super proud of you guys and have been following this journey since it's inception. Absolutely stoked at how far you've come.
Q: When will we be able to filter matches/interests by income bracket?
@yudhi_moodley Thanks for all the support and encouragement throughout the journey Yudhi!
Income bracket is a difficult one, as it may incentivise the wrong behaviour. But it's something we'll think deeply about. One of our next big features is filtering by job level, but this also needs careful design - since an executive at a 1 person business is different from an executive from a publicly listed business of 100,000 staff.
Can you add a feature to filter out employed/Senior women ?
If she has such a senior position it’s unlikely she will become a wife. ( JEF- The relationship between marital status and employment in SA 2019 report).
